Joel made it home late last night. I can't even express how nice it is to have him home. I can relax a little and just know that things will be OK. Amazing things happen like: coffee gets made, my hair gets curled, the lawn gets mowed and there is still time left to spare. We work through the day as a team and enjoy that extra time as a family. Today we joined Jessica for a casual lunch with some of her high school friends. One friend, Liz, and her family were visiting from Orlando. Liz's husband works for Lockheed Martin and they live in Winter Garden, FL. (No, they didn't know Dan.) There were 4 other little boys there for Jace to play with and there were lots of toys. When we left, Jace was exhausted. He took a little nap.
This evening we went for a long walk in the Cherry Creek State Park. Jace rode in the stroller for a while but he much prefers riding on Joel's shoulders. I tried to teach him to throw sticks in the stream but once I gave him a stick he did not want to let go of it. Joel took him for a hike through the trees and down by the stream. The wind picked up as we finished our walk. Tonight is cooler than the last few days. It is a relief to be able to open up the house and cool off. I am trying to enjoy the spring but dreading the hot summer days ahead.
